Class #4: Library / Recreation

Lebanon’s library system is a gateway to web and digital resources of all kinds. Find out what’s new at the library, and also about services we have traditionally provided that you might not be aware of. We’ll highlight some of the more typical challenges we have faced (what is THAT book doing on the shelf at the library?) to community discussions.

To recreate is to “bring fresh life to.” We need it daily, and so do our relationships with one another. This session with Paul Coats, Director of Lebanon Recreation and Parks, will get you on your feet, experiencing the joy of connecting with one another through recreation. We will take an overview look at the WHY and some of the HOW recreation is so successful in Lebanon.
